Vivo Y29 5G With 6.68-inch 120Hz Display, Dimensity 6300, 5500mAh Battery Launched silently in India Starting at ₹13,999
Vivo has launched a new Y series smartphone for the Indian market called Vivo Y29 5G. The smartphone has been listed on Vivo India’s official website, though no official announcement has been made by Vivo officially. So probably Vivo has released it silently in the Indian market as it has released several smartphones one after the other.
The design looks quite similar to that of the Vivo Y300 5G, which was recently launched in the Indian market. Unlike the Y300 5G, it comes with a Dimensity 6300 SOC.
It features a 6.68-inch LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate and a 50MP dual camera setup, complemented by a Dynamic Light Show feature that creates visual effects during music playback and notifications. It is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and comes with virtual RAM expansion technology that doubles the available RAM in each variant (4GB+4GB/6GB+6GB/8GB+8GB).
Further, it packs a 5500mAh battery with 44W fast charging, offering impressive battery life – up to 19.7 hours of YouTube playback, 11.3 hours of PUBG gaming, and 14.5 hours each for Facebook and Instagram usage. It can charge to 100% in about 79 minutes and features 24-dimension security protection with 4-year battery health assurance.
Vivo Y29 5G comes with SGS 5-star drop resistance and military-grade certification. It comes with shock-absorbing corners, an impact-resistant Wave-Crest Phone Case, and IP64 dust and water resistance rating that also supports wet finger touch operation.
The device includes standard features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5G support, and storage expandability up to 1TB. At 198g, the Y29 5G houses common sensors and connectivity options including dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and GPS.
